I neglected to put my 3L starter in the fridge on friday. It was on the stir plate for 24 hrs. Now it's Monday and I get home and see it still spinning away. Room temp is about 65F. In the fridge now crashing. Does anyone think there would have been any significant loss sitting out that...

From what I have read so far it is beneficial to transfer a number of times for clarity. I did my first mead in April using a fermenter. I transferred to a keg about three weeks ago. I just did a pressure transfer into another keg. I was surprised when it looked fairly clear and no sediment...

My hosehead fried. I picked up Blichman Brewcommand (mash) and Power Controller (boil). Blichman's require double pole GFCI 30 amps. each. Hosehead had one 50 amp GFCI. I did run a batch running both B's off the one 50 amp breaker with no issue. I am getting close to the questions now. To give...

I did a simple mead. I am not doing this at my house so do not have all my normal supplies and tools. Sanitized well but no gravity reading. I had no yeast nutrients either. I used Lalvin 71B. It took more than forty eight hours to notice anything fermenting. Now it is moving along but looks...

I just picked up gear motor. Slow but I will try it. I have no idea why there are five wires. Two black wires come from a black box. Capacitor? The motor has the usual red, white, black. There is no ground or green wire. Anyone with some knowledge that can help? I might as well wire it to...

Does anyone have any current info on mini refrigerators? I just did a search for "best mini fridge" and everything seems years old. I am looking to do another kegerator that will hold 1/2 Barrels. Thanks

I ferment in a stand up freezer with one controller. The temp sensor is outside of the conical. I set the controller temperatures a few degrees colder than want fermenter to be. I do not use the thermowell because I do not want the freezer running single digits while cooling. Does anyone run...

Does anyone know if a 60L sodastream will have enough pressure to serve a 1/2 barrel keg?

I always found it a pain and it seemed to waste beer due to foaming. I have the filler attachments for both my perlick and my intertap faucets. I tried reducing pressure, chilling growlers and such. I found that the next best thing to the beer gun is this. I put an old bottle filler...

I received a couple kits that included vanilla beans to be added to the secondary. Im my case the conical. The beans in the kit ane dry to the point of being brittle. Might even be a bit of mold on the ends. I cut them up (too dry to split) and added to some rum for a soak. Has anyone...

I brewer 12 gallons of a saison. In one of the two kegs I added lavender. It is great and everyone loves it. My process was to soak .8oz of lavender in vodka. I drained the vodka and added it to the keg. All good for a couple weeks but now the lavender seems to be getting much stronger...

I have a 300 micron basket that measures 6" x 14". Only used it once for whole hops. I want to try it with pellet hops but have a question. It seems like a common size so I hope someone with a similar item can answer this. How many ounces pelletized hops can put in this without having issues...

60L Speidel with Jaybird Stainless Dip Tube. 100.00 firm. Will not ship! If you are between Me and New York City I can bring it to you possibly. I moved on to Stainless conicals. It was only used twice.

I recently purchased a CF15 from Spike. I am using it for the first time and am trying to figure some things out. All good for nine days and I did my first dry hop additions. At that time I decided to try to carb while in the fermenter. Pressure built to 10PSI and held steady for the last...

I have not figured out what happened yet but it is frozen. I will let it thaw and see what happens. Anyone know if it will be an issue? Do I have to repitch yeast? I think it was probably done anyhow but want to add dry hop additions.

I have a faucet attached directly to a ball lock keg. I get a large amount of foam. Maybe half a glass is foam. If I get a flow control faucet will that solve the problem?

I messed up and thought I had packages of Safale 04. I don't and the homebrew store is an hour away. Already had mash going so I finished the mash and boil. The wort (11 gal) is now in the fermenter. The question: Is it OK to leave it for 48Hrs and pitch the 04? I do have one OLY-004...

I force carb both but I am wondering about the possibility cross contamination. If I use a dual regulator with one side to a beer and the other to the kombucha is the an issue? Can the beer be contaminated by bacteria in the kombucha? I guess the check valves should keep this from happening.

I just started my third step up on a starter. OLY-024, Belgian A. So far I have used four cups of DME. Two, two litre starters and now a five litre starter. The DME is about eighteen dollars for three pounds. Seems like a lot of work and money. For 11 gallons of 1.070 wort I could almost...
